I only picked up my food but they have it very well laid out for safety.
The price online does not match the actual price they charged
We had a very nice time this evening at Celia's. Our server was great and the food was excellent.
I had the crab enchiladas and they weren't that great
Food was great but the increased prices is a dissappointment.

Food was taking a long time but the chips and salsa helped and everyone is very friendly and attentive.

Lots of people dining. Great tasting food, very filling.
Prices continue to go up. They are pricing themselves out of the market. The value they are known for is fading away. Will start to try other places because they are getting exspensive!
The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was well prepared, well presented and delicious.
The quality of food and the service were excellent. We really enjoyed the meal.
We think that this Mexican restaurant is very good and it is also clean.
Water was slow, had to flag him down for refills, chips, missing parts of order. Never approached us on his own.
The Food and Drinks are always Great and Service with a smile .....a nice family run business.
excessive wait to get service.not very personable. nothing in the burrito but a small amount of chicken,very disappointing for the price!!!!
Service is good and servers are nice. The place is clean.
We've dined at Celia's about 15 years ago when we worked nearby. They have expanded the restaurant since then and the food is still very good. We would return at a future date.
The food was delicious and the staff was great customer oriented.
Menu has a large variety of food and beverages. Something for everyone. Food was flavorful and served hot.
Good was ok but rice was dry and beans lacked salt. Waiter didn't check in with us until after we had eaten and we didn't get refills on drinks until after the meal. Food is way over priced for what you get.
The seafood salad ordered by one person in my party was inedible. It was tremendously over-salted, like the chef slipped when adding this ingredient. The person who ordered it had to eat what the rest of us gave him from our plates.
Great authentic Mexican flavor!
Great Mexican food.
The food is good, but it is too noisy.
Celias are a family owned business and the true authentic dishes are "Perfectly Prepared" a treat for the taste buds.
Not the right place to order a burger. Also, we got the check before we order dessert.
food was good comfortable atmosphere
Our server was very attentive and fast
Friendly, fast, polite, smiles, good tasting food
Great service
The food was very good and served in a timely manner.The staff was very personable!
I understand they are trying to sell Villa Foglia. I love their food and I couldn't ask for better service. I would love to see the father be able to enjoy life - even if a little. Hope they sell to a similar establishment. I'll have to test it but the current establishment is one of my faves. the food, the bread and olive oil dip, the coffee and service are the best!
big portions, good salsa
Not as thrilled with the food this time. A few months ago we'd been pleasantly surprised, after not having eaten at a Celia's in quite a while. Food exceeded our expectations then. This time it seemed bland (or worse), though we did order different items than last time. This time, Huevos Rancheros: bland. The rice was bland. The refried beans had more flavor than either, so I started mixing in a bit of that with each bite. My wife had Enchiladas Verde with chicken in them. Should have requested grilled chicken (though added price), because what was in these...kind of shredded/pulled, didn't have a positive flavor. (I tried one bite and stopped there; it smelled odd too.) She ate 2/3rds of them, and left the rest. (When we normally would always take remainders home.) Also, the iced tea was weak. Maybe it makes a big difference who the chef is, and maybe the better chef was off for Mother's Day. Or, again, maybe some items are always better than others. (But still, I'm pretty sure the rice had more taste last time.) We probably won't give up on Chevy's. Will see how it works out next time.
It was a very busy night because of cinco de mayo but there was enough staff because of the holiday and being a Friday as well. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food was great as usual.
I always love the food, and they had Mariachis tonight.
Celia's is always a pleasurable experience the food the service the Margaritas , they are a family chain of Restaurants that have been established throughout California for many years....The Food is always "GREAT".
Portions were smaller than most Mexican restaurants and the prices a little higher. I suspect to offset coupons.
Great margaritas!
seated in the bar area...extrememly noisy. There was a large group celebrating & carrying on...good thing i had my ear plugs in my purse. The food was excellent but my husband & i couldn't speak to one another.
Service was good and the food was tasty.
Great food like we've loved at other Celia's locations
Very friendly staff and good food.
Great waiter, great food
the staff was very attentive and they were very polite
Horrible service, if you go, be prepared to be ignored!
My friends tostado was tiny portion. My burrito, carne astada meat was tasty, but skimpy on the meat. We've gotten better value for our money at other Mexican restaurants. Nice atmosphere. Nice server.
very good service, fast service, great food
very friendly service folks
GREAT SERVICE AND FOOD.
We loved the Chili Verde sauce!
Very attentive and friendly staff
Staff, atmosphere & food were excellent!
Great chips and salsa. Fast service, friendly staff
we shared their fajita plate special with chicken, beef and shrimp. the quantity was excellent; the quality was fair.
Delicious food, great service, friendly & attentive staff. They even gave us seconds on ice cream (at no charge). We are definitely coming back!
Free chips and salsa were put on the table immediately after we sat down. Great service and fantastic tasting meal. Margaritas were 5-star. Highly recommend.
The food wasn't all that tasty today as it usually is.
I have eaten here every couple of months for several years. It is a nice family restaurant that serves really good food. I have tried most everything on the menu and have not been disappointed. Service though, is hit or miss. The long time servers are very knowledgeable and fast; but there are only a couple of them. The food keeps bringing us back and we always have a nice time.
It's a great value and the servers are super nice.
Ordered mole enchilada & 1 enchilada on the side to go. Instead got an extra dinner on the side. Perhaps I was not clear about what I wanted exactly. No big problem of course I ate it anyway. But I specifically asking my order to go to NOT be packed in metal & paper but in one of the plastic to go packages. It was packaged in the metal/paper. When I asked the waiter he said the plastic one would've been to small. I should have been told that before they decided to not honor a customer's wishes. The metal/paper tray was too big and the contents got slopped around so much it looked like it had all been put in blender by the time I got home. Other than that the service and food were both good.
Felt less appreciated because we were using a coupon.
Servers friendly and efficient. Food served quickly and warm.
Santos is the best!
Chips and salsa to begin is good. Food served in a warm plate
Great food
Food and service were excellent. Sangria was tasty.
Felipe was an excellent server, the food was great, and the drinks were great. The poor lady that helped Felipe seemed a bit tired. Did not smile at all. But, she was not unfriendly, simply tired.
The steak was tender and flavorful. The waitress was knowledgeable.
Great food
friendly, attentive staff, decent food

Waitress was too busy. Expected to wait a little longer for your service.

Great Mexican food not a chain restaurant
Really enjoyed the happy hour savings on food and drink
Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating, attentive service and good food.
BUILDING IS VERY PLAIN ON THE OUTSIDE BUT VERY CLEAN & DECORATIVE ON THE INSIDE. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE, WITH MANY LOCAL FAMILY PATRONS; ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN.
we were seated right away but server did not come to take order for 10 minutes, then never checked on drink refill, our food took more than 25 minutes to arrive, and then was just warm not hot
very busy that night so service was a bit slow.
We were seated right away, but it took 10 minutes before our server came to ask if we wanted drinks, we placed our order, it took 25 minutes to receive our food. I had a taco salad my husband a burrito. We had to flag down our server to get a drink refill.
I'm guessing that because it was a Saturday, dinner service was slow. The food was tasty but not as hot (temp) as usual. We eat here every couple of months because it is usually pretty good. This time even the margaritas were off. We'll be back.
Reasonable prices, generous servings, good service and delicious food.
Waitstaff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered and our food arrived quickly and was well-prepared.
The chili relano was excellent.The cheese enchilada was also excellent.The service was great. overall a wonderful experience!
Everyone is always very friendly there and always great service!
Tasha is the best waitress!!
The waitress was not at all friendly. She looked annoyed that she had to wait on us.
Food was amazing never had a bad meal there
